To schedule the proposal moment, Dale asked Karlie to take a selfie with him. At first, she resisted, saying that they should find a different spot to capture the idea landscape shot instead. When she finally agreed, Dale got down on one knee.

Karlie told The Huffington Post: “I was totally blown away as it was the very last thing I was expecting at that time. I was telling Dale to hurry up so we could get a better shot instead. When he got down on one knee, I was surprised but of course said, ‘yes!’”

Dale had normally planned to ask that question nine months earlier on a journey to Iceland. He had put the engagement ring in a bottle, which he told Karlie was priceless and belonged to his mom. However, at the airport, their luggage was overweight, and Karlie decided to throw out the bottle with the $4,000 ring inside. When finally Dale realized what had happened he was devastated and had to save up to buy a new ring.
